Default 4.7 cranks, then dies

Hello, my 2001 dodge Dakota 4.7 will after driving and getting the engine temp to the middle on the gauge, once you shut the truck off at that temps tire you have to wait for the engine to cool off to the line just before cold. I tried depressurization of my fuel rail once I would shut the truck off and then attempt to restart it but to no luck. But if I shut the truck off at that temp and then turn it on again it’ll turn on almost instantly. I’ve replaced the cam shaft sensor, tried replacing the crank shaft sensor but it was stuck. Still plan on replacing that though. I also have 2 evap codes, 3 transmission codes and engine side 1 and 2 lean. I already had my fuel pump die on me once, but turns out a connection went bad on the way to the pump so I wired the pump up to a switch that I control in the cab. All the connections are weather proofed and solid. This has been going on for months. Also if the truck doesn’t start correctly but is still running, upon reaching the first full stop the truck will die but once thrown into park and cranked it starts right back up. I’m super confused right now with this problem and have tried old forums and Facebook, even YouTube, but no help. List of things I have done to the truck are

cam shaft sensor
spark plugs
oil change x2
coolant thermostat change
Idle air control vaulve cleaned
injectors are on the list next
new battery

wondering if my computer is going bad, thanks in advance for any help

A crank but no start when warm is usually a crank or camshaft sensor. More often than not the crank sensor.
